Scott, this looks normal to me......Jerry Felper will probably chime in....
I'd say your battery went flat just because it sat there for 5 months with
out a charge. Any lead acid battery will do this unless it is a gel cell.
Thats why I have Optima batteries in all my cars. If its not in tip top
shape, then the small key off drain made sure it would go flat.
Give it a good charge and you'll probably be ok until next year. If its over
4 years old, replace it and consider a gel cell. Exide makes one too that is
black.
